SEGA has done what a growing number of development studios have started doing and has put their soundtracks on streaming services thus giving fans a legal and easy way of listening to classic and new video game soundtracks. SEGA sound musician, Tomoya Ohtani, has posted on X to say that the results are paying off as the wonderful Sonic Frontiers soundtrack titled, Sonic Frontiers Original Soundtrack Stillness & Motion, has now surpassed 300 million streams. Mr. Ohtani thanked fans for this achievement and says that soundtracks are created as a way to “move people” and he thanked fans for “being part of this journey.”
We’re truly thankful to everyone who has listened, shared, and felt something through the music. We don’t create with numbers in mind — we create to express, to experiment, and to move people. This milestone inspires us to keep pushing our creativity further and reach even greater heights. Thank you for being part of this journey.
I was jonesing for a SEGA article. This is going straight into my veins
Do they own the songs from the band? I thought WB records Japan owned it? Trash game and soundtrack.
I’m glad we live in an era where we can watch sonic x episodes for free on youtube. I hated it when my past city between Florida and Tennessee locked them behind pay per view.
300 million streams is wild for a game soundtrack — and deserved. Stillness & Motion is easily one of Ohtani’s best scores; the way he frames it (“we don’t create with numbers in mind — we create to move people”) is exactly why it works as an album, not just game audio. Also shoutout to SEGA for finally putting soundtracks on streaming properly. Small fan tip for people who make their own playlist art or phone wallpapers from album covers: album art is square, phone screens and Discord banners aren’t, and cropping always cuts off the artwork. I’ve been using imagestretcher.io for that; it stretches width and height independently, locks or unlocks the ratio, and runs entirely in the browser with no uploads — keeps the cover intact no matter where you’re putting it.
Surpassing 300 million streams is such an incredible milestone for the Sonic Frontiers OST! When stepping away from long gaming sessions to unwind offline, finding printable coloring pages via this link is a great creative break.
